UNSPSC 40151716: Pump head

UNSPSC 40151716 Pump head is a Commodity code tracking state and local purchases of pump components, replacement parts, and pump repair or replacement services across water utilities, wastewater treatment, and municipal infrastructure. Recent solicitations show a heavy mix of submersible wastewater pump assemblies, vertical turbine pump motors, hose pump components for treatment facilities, and comprehensive on-call repair and rebuild services for electric motors and pump equipment. Issuing bodies span municipal water districts, county and city wastewater utilities, school districts managing lift station infrastructure, transit authorities, and special-purpose water agencies. Water Resources Departments and Departments of Watershed Management appear repeatedly as repeat buyers conducting standing repair contracts and equipment replacements. The work ranges from single-unit replacements specified to OEM equivalents (such as KSB or Flowserve pumps) to multi-site on-call service agreements with response-time guarantees and warranty terms, and from routine maintenance parts procurement to full-service pump overhauls in machine shops with shaft alignment and welding capability.

Geographic activity concentrates in Florida (Pinellas County Schools, Orange County, Hillsborough County), Georgia (City of Atlanta Department of Watershed Management, City of Augusta, Lowndes County), and Texas (West Travis County Public Utility Agency, Klein ISD), with additional activity in New Mexico and nationwide among state forestry agencies. Representative opportunities include West Basin Municipal Water District's RFP for on-call pump and motor repairs across eight recycled water facilities in Los Angeles County with a $1 million not-to-exceed contract and response due October 1, 2026; Pinellas County School District's ITB for lift station replacement at a school site with sealed electronic bids due August 31, 2026 and an estimated value of $485,000; Atlanta Department of Watershed Management's IFB for Watson-Marlow Bredel hose pump parts with bids due October 2, 2026; City of Augusta's sealed bid for three 200-horsepower submersible wastewater pump assemblies with bids due October 15, 2026; and Lowndes County's bid for permanent bypass pump installation at 20 lift station sites with bids due September 1, 2026 and attendance at a mandatory pre-bid conference required. Set-asides vary by jurisdiction — West Basin encourages SBE, LBE, and VOBE participation with up to 10 percent price reduction, while other solicitations reference local-bidder preferences or M/WBE compliance documentation. Recent sole-source awards to specialized OEM representatives (Xylem for Flygt equipment, TSC Jacobs for multi-manufacturer standardized equipment) signal that standardization and OEM certification drive procurement decisions in mature municipal utility systems.
